1.A History of Modern Britain by: Andrew Marr May 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.55 You Save: £5.44 (61%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.35
This is an enjoyable, easy-to-read overview of postwar Britain but Marr does seem to get away with some shockingly wooly points that would have caused my history teacher's red pen to run out of ink! The first chapters, about Britain's politics immediately after WW2 up to the 60s I thought were excellent, but as soon as he gets into economics, pop music etc it does become pretty sloppy tabloid generalisation. As a typical upper-middle class BBC journo and well-known chum of Gordon Brown he's also painfully PC, especially jarring in a history book, re. the unqualified good of multiculturalism, the NHS and welfare state, the liberal reforms of the 60s onwards etc. There's also a very sniffy attitude to the developments of business, ...

I enjoyed this book when I read it and have given copies to friends and family to read. Take out the nonsense areas like its all your fault when something major goes wrong .... scary statement indeed, and some of it makes sense. You can have so much more in life and all it takes is focus and belief ... if you can truly beleive it, you can acheive it. So much of this is taken out of context and without the incredible power that comes from the great master himself Napoleon Hill. I would urge you to read or listen to the 6 set cd series by napeleon hill ... Tony Robins and so many others have learnt and preach his teachings from almost 100 years ago ... it is the real thing !! The Science of Personal Acheivement. Its called. Its the real Mccoy.

3.Sniper One: The Blistering True Story of a British Battle Group Under Siege by: Dan Mills May 15, 2008

This must be one of the most refreshingly candid and fast paced accounts of military action I have ever read. From the moment I picked it up I was hooked by a text which was both engaging and eye-opening. Devoid of any political posturing, it concentrates on what life is like at the fighting end of military orders - and it makes for intensive reading at times. If you are unsure what active service in Iraq or Afghanistan really means, you could do no wrong by starting with this account.

4.The Game by: Neil Strauss December 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £4.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.30
What a discovery!!! I bought this book as part of some research for my own book and I was very pleasantly surprised. I never made the connection that Mr Strauss was the co-author of the much lauded Motley Crue's "The Dirt". Ok, the stories in this book may seem a bit stretched or hard to believe, but hey, it's Americans we are talking about. What I have to say is that reading this book made me look back on my failures and successes at picking women, and it was almost uncanny to read word by word where I went right and wrong. The Game is a bit of a cross between Queer Eye For The Straight Guy cum Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus cum any rock and roll tale of debauchery you care to think of. Interesting ...

5.The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by: Naomi Klein May 01, 2008

I had not expected Klein's book to be this good. We learn a lot here about how the Chicago School of Economics (as pioneered by Milton Friedman) has been responsible for some of the most atrocious political crimes of the last 4 decades. Crimes that were committed not only against the body politic of developing nations but also the bodies of human beings tortured under dictatorships. Everyone who doubts that America has blood on its hands for its interference in world affairs (e.g. Chile, Iran, Russia, Argentina) needs to open their eyes. Democracy and Free Markets do not go hand-in-hand as Bush and the Neo-Cons would have you believe, but quite the opposite: wherever Chicago economists have sought to imopose their brand of capitalism it has been enforced ...

6.The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: Or the Murder at Road Hill House by: Kate Summerscale April 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.94 You Save: £6.05 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.66
If you are fascinated by the hypocrisy of the Victorians, you'll love this book. If you want to read a great murder mystery, you should probably search out a work of fiction instead. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher has a wide charter: Tell the story of the murder of three-year-old Saville Kent in his English country home, describe the police investigations, relate the public reaction to the murder and investigations, detail what happened to the characters, help us understand our psychological need to read detective fiction, and provide new insight into the seeds of the crime. Although the book claims to give us a fiction-like description of the murder and its investigation, Ms. Summerscale's writing isn't quite in the style: She's clearly a non-fiction writer. ...

7.Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway: How to Turn Your Fear and Indecision into Confidence and Action by: Susan Jeffers January 04, 2007

I'm one of Susan's authorised trainers in the UK, and know from experience how helpful this book can be. With so many self-help titles on the market today, this stands the test of time and is a model of excellence in its field. You won't be disappointed! Andy Garland YOU...bethebestyoucan

8.Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship - 2nd Edition (2007) by: The Home Office - Life in the UK Advisor March 27, 2007

Here it is, the cure for insomnia! Given that one of the aims of the Life in the UK test is to test English literacy, you would think the official guide would be written in accessible English! Instead, we are handed this sloppy compilation of pointless statistics, useless abbreviations, dry facts with little context and advice that will make you slap your forehead and scowl: 'Well, OBVIOUSLY!' A blue box pops up every so often asking the reader 'check that you understand...', but oftentimes what is listed has NOT been explained or even mentioned in what you've just finished reading. I defy anyone to explain to me the differences between the Council of Europe, the Council of the EU, the EU, the EC and the European Parliament at the best of times, but especially after reading the few ...

9.Passing the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and BMAT 2008 (Student Guides to University Entrance) (Student Guides to University Entrance) by: Felicity Taylor, Rosalie Hutton, Glenn Hutton April 21, 2008

Although I found this book helpful I felt that it could have contained alot more practice questions. Half of the book talks about why you want to be a doctor and how to write your personal statement when really what I wanted was more practice questions which were in another book I bought.

10.7 Habits of Highly Effective People by: Stephen R. Covey January 04, 1999

Trying not to use the phrase "paradigm shift" is almost impossible when talking about this book. If you've not heard of this, then you need to get out more. Seven Habits is a wonderful book that will change your life if you let it. Now, the key is in the title: Habits. Not whims, but habits. You have to keep at what the book talks about and while the book is geared toward those who want success, it is not geared toward happiness. Think they're the same? No. Read the book and you'll see why. Still, this comes highly recommended from a lot of sources. Covey basically gives you a recipe for success. Having read some of the negative reviews I can only assume those people don't want success or aren't capable of concentrating their attention on the goals at hand long enough. I would also recommend "Life ... Read More:
